Reeling from the tragic death of a loved one, Captain Ross Poldark vents his grief by inciting impoverished locals to salvage the contents of a ship run aground in a storm--an act for which British law proscribes death by hanging. As Ross is brought to trial for his involvement, his wife, Demelza, tries to rally support to save him and their family. But plenty of enemies would be happy to see her husband convicted, not the least of which is George Warleggan, the powerful banker whose personal rivalry with Ross threatens to destroy the Poldarks, including their newborn son, Jeremy.
